N2  - Suicide rates in America are on the rise. Emergency departments, including psychiatric emergency services, are in a unique position to encounter patients who are at high risk for suicide. Suicide safety plans are a best-practice and evidence-based intervention proven to reduce risk for suicide. The Unity Center for Behavioral Health (UBH) Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) in Portland, Oregon currently has no policy mandating the use of suicide safety plans nor has any means of collecting data on suicide safety plan completion. This project describes utilizing a multidisciplinary approach to suicide safety planning with the intent of monitoring and increasing the rate of suicide safety plan completion in the UBH PES.
